Lately

Here's what we've been up to lately...

We are LOVING spring in California! The flowers are in full bloom and the hills are GREEN and beautiful! 

Ava is as happy as ever now that she is over her sickness. :)

We have been to favorite ice cream place in Berkeley several times. 

Ava is learning how to eat finger foods. She can grab the food and move it towards her mouth, but somehow it always ends up on her...shoulder? Yep.

Ava's hair is definitely starting to get longer and it is MUCH blonder than it was when she was born. 

Ava loves to "veg." :)

Ava has become very "snuggly" lately (which I LOVE). She will lay her head on your chest or shoulder and just...well, snuggle. :) Makes my heart melt every.single.time.

Spring brings fresh fruit! I am still in awe every time I see an orange or lemon tree. It must be the "Colorado girl" in me.

Ava is now sitting in a booster seat or high chair when we go out. She is much, much, much, much happer to sit with us and like a "big girl" than she was sitting in her car seat. 

With the warmer weather, we have been taking more walks (which means Ava has been taking more evening naps). :)

We got Ava some coral "skinny" jeans. I have started buying clothes a size or two too big (on purpose). That way, when she first starts wearing them, they are a little loose/baggy but still wearable. Then, she has plenty of room to grow into them and get a lot of wear and tear out of them. Can't handle buying clothes for her to only wear them for a month. 

Ava got caught in her first rain storm. We had to sit in the car to wait it out for a minute, which resulted in Ava's first driving lesson.

Ava has been keeping the tradition of Sunday night Skype sessions with the Websters alive and well. :)

Auntie Kait came to visit and we had SO much fun with her!

Ava is now holding herself in this position and she will rock back and forth. But that's the extent of it for now. I still think crawling is a long way away. 

Sweet little baby girl. 

Ava has found her toes and is all of a sudden incredibly flexible.
